Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 595 Good News From Zane

“Auction?” Sonia’s eyes shone with interest as she repeated the word. “Lindorff Co. is the one in the machinery industry, yes?”

“That’s right. It’s similar to what you’re doing at Paradigm Co. If you can win your bid on Lindorff Co. during the auction and merge it with your company, Paradigm Co. will be a new force to reckon with in the industry.” Zane then smiled and asked, “How’s the news? Good enough for you?”

“It’s great news, and I’m tempted by the offer. But in case you forgot, let me remind you that I’m broke,” Sonia said with a frown.

“Isn’t that but a small matter to worry about?” Zane sloppily asked as his legs swung. “There’s a rumor that the government allows companies to use company shares as credit for the auction. I suggest you use some of your shares to get funds in return. Not only will you have the government as one of Paradigm Co.’s shareholders, you will also have their backing in the future. That way, you won’t have to constantly worry about being on the receiving end of some hanky-panky business.”

Surprised by the favorable conditions of the auction, Sonia sat up straighter than ever. “That’s too good to be true!”

Zane nodded in agreement at that. “It indeed is. It’s not something that we can come across often. It’s first-hand news to me, but once words get out and far, for sure will be a number of private businesses that will want to join in on the bid. I mean, who wouldn’t want to catch this big fish that’s blatantly swimming in front of their eyes? Which is why, Sonia, you have to grab onto this opportunity. Lindorff Co. could easily be taken away by other private businesses if you don’t look out and act fast,” he said.

Upon hearing this, she could only bite her lower lip in resignation. “I know what you mean, but unfortunately, I can’t buy Lindorff Co. There are too many companies that are better than Paradigm Co. out there. Paradigm can’t possibly win against the hundreds of thousands of competitors we have.”

“You don’t have to worry about this. Companies that wish to take part in this auction first have to send in their application, and if the officials were to find out anything problematic with these companies that registered upon inspection, they would be disqualified immediately. I’m predicting a disqualification of at least 80 percent of all the companies in just the first round,” he explained.

It was not a well-kept secret that every business had, in some ways, done something against common business practices at some point in their existence.

The authority wasn’t looking for a company that was completely free of underhanded dealings; they wanted someone that had not done anything that had crossed the line of being justifiable.

The small glimmer of hope Sonia had earlier went away in a poof as she understood Zane’s words. As she massaged the tip of her eyebrows, she gloomily said, “Paradigm Co. will definitely be eliminated as well then. Asher had done a good deal of suspicious ventures under the company’s name before. Tax evasion was anything but taboo when he was in charge of Paradigm Co.”

Indeed, if it wasn’t for her quick move at getting a loan from the bank to pay off the remaining unpaid taxes, Titus would probably have reported her to the authorities.

By then, Paradigm Co. would have been destroyed before she even had the chance to manage it.

Getting rid of all the bad eggs within the company was one of the things she was thankful she did every time she recalled the time she had gotten her new position in Paradigm Co.
